Josh Tomlin’s pitching is still very bad. But hey, he’s a great guy, and you can’t expect 3.5 WAR from your #5 starter, so people in the baseball establishment will still defend him endlessly. Joshua has allowed 8 home runs in 12.2 IP but the Indians felt the need to “play for 1 run” by having Francisco Lindor bunt in the third inning to reduce the deficit to two runs. Smrt!
Tyler Chatwood pitched for the other team and walked 5, but none of them came around to score. You know why.
There’s a reason we have yet to mention yesterday’s opponent or the result of the game. Bad memories.

Around baseball
• Michael Brantley is making contact very frequently. I would have hated picking up his option much less had I known that the rest of baseball would be swinging for flyouts every pitch, with Brantley being the lone exception.
• Joey Gallo isn’t going to be facing extreme shifts for much longer if this keeps up.
• Eric Lauer made his MLB debut for the Padres, and, well, doing so in Coors in the pouring rain is less than ideal.
